    What are your product hidden gems?

    There are a large, select group of products/tools everyone writes about over and over again. I was just curious what products/tools you love to use but are just not discuused that much on forums. My 3 are the following:

    1. Edge Detailing Swabs - I love these guys as they help me working with wheels, door jams and engine areas

    2. Pinnacle Foam Wax Applicators - obviously good for waxing but I also use them to dress tires (can get pretty good coverage of the full tire without having to back up the car), apply plexus on lights, apply UV protectant on dash, etc.

    3. Hose Blocker - tried a cut milk carton but plastic is too thin, love the blockers, I think I would go postal otherwise.

    I too love the Pinnacle applicators, good for everything and economical enough to replace as needed.

    Foam Gun is another I truly love, as well as a leaf blower. Most valuable players in washing as often as I do.

    One hidden gem for me is my trusty Zaino Z-AIO. Strong cleaning agents to clean up my existing paint protection, polishes the paint, and seals in one step. Also cleans, polishes, and seals up glass, aluminum, chrome, and plastic.

    I can't think of anything else right now that truly stands out to me.

    Air compressor with a nice trigger at the end of the hose. I use it all the time for the interior and exterior.

    Someone else mentioned that Tornador to me the other day. Where do you get them and does it work really well? Is it safe around electronics?
